03FD6E72FFE627232080F939FCC76B14.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The subgeneric name refers to the place of origin (Andes) + ‘ oppia ’, a common suffix for generic and subgeneric names in Oppioidea.	en	Ermilov, Sergey G., Subías, Luis S., Shtanchaeva, Umukusum Ya., Friedrich, Stefan (2022): A new subgenus and three new species of Sternoppia (Acari, Oribatida, Sternoppiidae) from Peru.

03FD6E72FFE627232080F939FCC76B14.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The morphology of bothridial setae often used in Oppioidea as generic or subgeneric trait (e. g., Subías & Balogh 1989; Balogh & P. Balogh 2002). Sternoppia (Andoppia) tetratuberculata and representatives of Sternoppia (Sternoppia) are morphologically very similar in all morphological characters (except bothridial seta), therefore, we previously proposed a new subgenus (not genus).	en	Ermilov, Sergey G., Subías, Luis S., Shtanchaeva, Umukusum Ya., Friedrich, Stefan (2022): A new subgenus and three new species of Sternoppia (Acari, Oribatida, Sternoppiidae) from Peru.
